Member Testimonials
Always seems clean & well kept!
The location is much easier for me to get to than the downtown Y. When I go to Lakewood it is usually not crowded. It has all of the exercise equipment I need. The lockers are a nice size and I love the steam room and sauna after a workout. There are a lot of people at Lakewood that I enjoy socializing with.
Nice staff, nice equipment. Not too crowded. For the most part people are respectful of others and the equipment.
PLEASE extend hours back to a 6:00 closing on Sunday. And, we all want large white towels just like all the branches in Raleigh have.
Otherwise, NO issues. Love the Lakewood Y and all the people. Makes my day when I get there.
I think the Y is great. Things to work on:
Clocks displaying the correct time.
Making sure patrons keep their shoes on.
Nancy S's conditioning and step classes are an awesome workout and an absolute joy to be in. I just moved to the area and her classes at the YMCA have given me such a sense of community that I don't have otherwise. I leave every workout sweaty but so so happy. Thank you!

Will have to drop Y membership
Love the ping pong class. Pleasant and helpful staff
All kinds of people are members and great staff. And the Y does so many things to help people less fortunate than me.
Warm friendly staff
Love the Steam room! Overall nice facility.
It's a great service. To improve, better communication with parents about (a) what programming is happening after school and (b) more detail about help with homework.
Great facilities, friendly staff
It is a great resource my kid enjoy being with his friends in a safe environment. They are very communicative and I like the fact older students are the ones watching the other kids. My son mentioned he wanted to work doing that when he is in high school
One time last week, the Lakewood Y was still closed as of 6:30 am. Other than that, it's always a great experience.
Outside play
Friendly staff, good space.
Really enjoy how friendly everyone is and the child care service which allows parents and caregivers peace of mind so they can take care of their bodies and minds. Thank you!
It's convenient and the people are friendly.
This location is very community creating. Most members are friendly and considerate. The regulars tend to welcome new folk warmly. The staff are extraordinarily welcoming. Facilities are clean and fairly well maintained. This a YMCA to proudly call your main gym!

First name removed Sawaya’s classes! She’s absolutely extraordinary!
Friendly and helpful team members and clean facility.
I love the small settings cute and cozy. The steam room is so hot and steamy just love it. Women locker rooms setup is great too. Can’t wait for the downtown Y steam room open back up. It’s been down for such a long time.
Great people great environment
